Nancy Ripton is a writer and editor with over two decades of experience in consumer publishing. She is also the co-founder of my link text, a pregnancy and early years parenting site she developed nine years ago as a resource that parents could turn to for trusted advice.
As a nutrition and health writer, and former fitness director, Nancy is passionate about optimal health and eating whole, natural foods. She came up with the concept for Baby Self-Feeding: Solid Food Solutions to Create Lifelong, Healthy Eating Habits because she was dismayed at the foods kids eat nowadays. She wanted to know if the way children are introduced to foods could impact their desires for foods later in life. Endless journals and expert interviews led to this new way of introducing first foods.
